COMMENTS: "Is there a Son of Steve Garvey in the house?" "Why yes, I'm a Son of Steve Garvey." And so it came to be that our very own jet-setting Alex Cora is watching the Dodgers play for the sixth time this season...and only for the second time at home. AC has compiled a 2-3 record in those five games, so both he and the Dodgers are looking to reach .500.

Vin: "Grady's dad, an African-American, is an insurance adjuster." I know Vin is trying to point out Sizemore is bi-racial, but it's still kind of weird. Come to think of it, that factoid is probably from the Cleveland press notes because Vin's said it before. Still, weird.

It's surprising that the Dodgers blew their early 4-0 lead. Chad Billingsley started off the game strong retiring the side in the first-inning without giving up a hit. This is going to be an exciting game.

hahahahahahahaha Eric. I'd love Germany won over Spain, although Spain in international soccer match are a sort of Chicago Cubs. They never win anything.It's ironic, because the professional spanish soccer league is overcrowded with most important players in the world.

Awesome. Funny. No one recognized me, because when i arrived there was not anyone i'm in touch with.Made peace, made some plans, everyone will do something. Got home, my friends picked me up and went to have some drinks. Made them promise they'll go to the reunion.

I think i could make Orel to attend your reunion and my reunion. These friends i've been telling about they are all boys.

Update: my school friend, who is a spanish-german descent and lives in Spain, just called to remind me that Spain won. I bet he tried to call first to the one of us, who's italian descent and lives in Italy, but his phone number should be busy, because another one of us, who's spanish descent and lives here, must be giving him a hard time.

We called the italian one around 2 am here, to talk about today's match. Our friendship rocks big time!

nah!, my friend is. When we're growing up and we went to his house, it was the madness: his parents speak in different languages all the time, because they wanted their children to speak the languages, so they spoke: Spanish, German, French, Catalan. When we all started learning English, it was added to the repertoire. We spent a lot of time in that house, because his parents owned a restaurant downstairs and we loved the desserts.

What's wrong with a non-audio-only iPod? Do you mean you don't want to pay for features you aren't going to use? I sort of feel the same way as I only use the audio, but maybe that's because that's all my iPod had.

For your information, the temperature in Los Angeles at the start of the game was around 94 F. I believe it was around 110 F during yesterday's game.

Also, I saw that someone disagreed with my statement that this game would be exciting. The Dodgers squeezed past the Indians in a nail-biting victory. If you don't find these types of games exciting, then I'm afraid that you'll be a bored Dodgers' fans. The Dodgers usually slip past their opponents by a couple of runs or they are massacred by scores that have a difference of four to five runs.[Note: That last statement was a generalization and there is no statistical analysis to support that all games fit either of those categories.]

Anyways, I was writing a Live Blog about today's game. If you're interested in reading my Game Notes, then head on over to: http://dodgersdigest.blogspot.com/2008/06/game-notes-dodgers-vs-indians-finale.html

It probably provides more analysis on the "exciting game," than a boring old post-game recap.
